I'm glad to say that they have not turned her head. She hasn't even blushed which I'm relieved about.

I sadly discovered a crack in one of the vases I used a month or so ago - I suspect I dropped the metal pinholder into it too carelessly :( I have a a bag of these glass nugget things too which a friend gave me for creative purposes and they work well for holding stems in place as well as adding extra colour. Interestingly, I had decided to actively seek a double white hellebore for myself as it's not something I have - although I suspect this one wouldn't be easy to come by. If your seeds germinate perhaps you could put my name on one...? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-2620618784297240252015-03-23T18:55:09.269+00:002015-03-23T18:55:09.269+00:00Your last-minute replacement worked out beautifull...Your last-minute replacement worked out beautifully, Anna.
